One of the distinguishing features of Bakersfield College is its rich history, accompanied by strong community roots. Generations of families have made Bakersfield College their preferred higher education choice. In response to the changing demographics of the surrounding community, the college reflects the vibrant cultural diversity that is increasing throughout California. While Bakersfield Coll

ege has a long and rich history of excellence in serving a large and diverse student body, continuing to meet the educational needs of our rapidly increasing minority community presents a significant challenge in the face of rapidly increasing fixed costs. Bakersfield Collegeā€™s student body is increasingly low-income, first-generation college-going, minority and academically underprepared. In response to this challenge, faculty, staff, administration and students have cooperated to leverage alternative sources of funding, such as Hispanic Serving Institution federal grants, to support innovative educational programming and integrated student learning opportunities.

We gathered at the Renegade Event Center this week to welcome Dr. Stacy Pfluger as Bakersfield Collegeā€™s 12th president.Ā 

Community leaders, trustees, and campus staff came out to celebrate, with music from the BC Jazz ensemble and Chamber Singers, plus a G1 robot appearance from our Industrial Automation program.

Then Dr. Pfluger turned the evening toward students. She announced the return of the Presidentā€™s Scholars program and welcomed this yearā€™s recipients to the stage.

Congratulations, President Pfluger, and congratulations to our 2026-27 Presidentā€™s Scholars.

The 100th season of Renegade football just kicked off at home. šŸ’ÆšŸˆ

Memorial Stadium came to life for opening night as Bakersfield College beat Santa Ana 40-14. Tailgates gathered early and alumni returned for the night. The BC Archives shared memorabilia going back generations, and we welcomed our newest employees to campus, a reminder that the college keeps growing alongside its traditions.

A hundred seasons in, and the whole town still shows up.

See the full schedule and grab tickets at GoGades.com. Come be part of Season 100.

For a lot of these students, last week was their first time stepping onto a college campus. šŸŽ“

The Dual Enrollment and Early College Department hosted two free events: the Launch Academy for new students and the Level Up Academy for returning ones.

Nearly 650 students spent the day learning about dual and concurrent enrollment, financial aid, campus resources, and what it really takes to be a college student, with workshops and activities throughout.

Thank you to the Early College team for putting it all together.
